Dear Coachella-goers, we know this is the most important information for your Coachella weekend, so stop fronting like you care more about the set times. Most of you are only going for the parties anyway, right? Right. Cool. We'll see you there, er, we'll be there, we won't necessarily see you though because our eyes may be under-performing... We know it's not in your nature to plan ahead and we've made the spontaneous game-planning for where to get your face melted easy with this comprehensive guide to all the parties in the desert this weekend. Well, most of them, some we can't really talk about and you probably already know about them anyway.

The Coach has skidded off the rails. Just another shitshow on the sex and the city tour now hijacked by the music biz (JayZ? Klownye?) scumbag promoters and corporations. Might as well be another crap weekend in the Hamptons. Better bet, better music, better crowd.....Bonnaroo.
